In July 2008, District staff solicited a Request for Proposals (RFP) to six (6) Contractors
to provide commercial diving services at the Indian Creek Reservoir (lCR) site, Alpine
County, California. Proposals for commercial diving services were received from the
following firms:
. Underwater Resources, Inc., San Francisco, CA (Lic. #: 639975 - Class A)
. Big Valley Divers, Inc., Chico, CA (Lic. #: 757776 - Class A)
Because commercial diving services require specialty knowledge, training and
expertise, staff reviewed and evaluated submitted proposals using the following criteria:
1. Completeness
2. Qualifications
3. Firm Experience
4. Approach; and
5. Efficiency
Cost proposals were provided in separate sealed envelopes and were not used as a
basis for selection.

reviewer was required to separately score each proposal using the same selection
criteria. Descriptions of these criteria and the resultant raw and weighted proposal
evaluation scores are attached to this memorandum. Based on this review, staff
recommends that the Board select Underwater Resources, Inc. to perform the
commercial diving services as outlined in the District's Commercial Diving Services
Request for Proposal, Dated July 23, 2008.

ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION
Pursuant to Section 54956.9(b) of the California
Government Code, the Board adjourned to closed
session at 2:25 p.m. to discuss the merits of the
claim with legal counsel and staff. They reconvened
to open session at 2:55 p.m.
Moved Schafer I Second Claudio I Mosbacher Voted
No I Passed to reject claim based on staff's recom-
mendation. (Director Mosbacher voted no because
she felt paying the claim would be less expensive.)
Julie Ryan reported the Board previously approved
Brown and Caldwell (B&C) design replacement of tanks
at Angora and Country Club sites, and their initial pro-
posal assumed that these two sites would be done in
concurrence. Since then, the Angora tank project was
delayed until 2009. Accordingly, B&C will incur additional
costs for the design of the Angora Tank since the
schedule was extended and the activities will not be
streamlined with Country Club Tank. To preserve some
of the economy of scale achieved by designing and
constructing two tanks at a time, staff proposed to extend
B&C's scope of work to include design of a replacement
tank at the Echo View site, which is the next tank in line
for replacement.
Moved Jones I Second Schafer I Passed Unanimously
to approve amendments to existing Task Order for tank
design with Brown and Caldwell in the amount not to
exceed $89,401.90.
Staff noticed a vendor name was listed incorrectly and
requested that payment be removed to allow additional
time to fix the error.
Moved Schafer I Second Claudio I Passed Unanimously
to approve payment in the revised amount of
$4,248,627.03.

committee met August 4. Minutes of the meeting are

(Consent Item b.)
ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION
John Adamski came before the Board to request the
District hold billing for sewer fees on new construction
until a home is finaled and occupied.
The sewer service credit, Ordinance No. 505-08, allows
staff to delay the imposition of sewer service charges
until six months after final sewer lateral connection
inspection at the property line. However, the Ordinance
became effective 05/03/08 and is not retroactive.
It was the consensus of the Board that since the potential
for use existed, and would be impossible to monitor, to
adhere to the provisions of Ordinance No. 505-08.
No Board action.

The property owners sent a letter requesting the Board
to authorize closure of their accounts since they can-
not afford to pay the balances that have accrued and
continue to accrue on their vacation home due to fore-
closure. Lisa Coyner has been in contact with the
property owner and has no record that this property was
foreclosed on. She also reported there were no delinquent
balances. Staff referred this customer to the Helping
Hands program, and indicated Customer Service staff is
willing to establish a payment plan, but no response to
those offers has been received to date.

Veerkamp Engineering has nearly completed the water-
line replacement project. Staff would like to add an
additional 1,500-feet to replace undersize waterlines

broken down into two sections, so in the event of an
early winter, the full 1,500-feet of trench would not be
exposed to the elements.
The Water and Wastewater Operations Committee
discussed this item and recommended approval, in order
to take advantage of low prices, and to provide upgraded
fire protection in the area.

to approve Change Order No.1 to Doug Veerkamp
General Engineering, in the amount of $252,771.28.

Subject: Cross Media Checklist
Hello everyone - An outcome of the biosolids cross media roundtable that was held on
May 16th in Sacramento with Cal EPA and various Air Districts, Regional Water Boards,
Cal Trans, and EPA was an agreement to develop a cross media checklist for use during
the development of regulations.
It has become clear that in order for this to become a viable reality, we need to develop it
ourselves and present it to Cal EPA for their approval and use.
Michele PIa (BACWA), John Pastore (SCAP), Stephanie Cheng (EBMUD) and I have
formed a steering committee to direct this effort. We would like to solicit those of you
who have interest, time, and knowledge to help us in the checklist development.
Knowledge or expertise is needed in at least the following areas: Biosolids, compost
processing, Recycled water, AB 32, CEQA, the Regulatory process, development of
Basin Plans and WQ standards and regulations, and impact assessment to air, water,
and land media. We would like to limit the working group to be less than ten people to
maximize efficiency but would greatly appreciate hearing from any of you with an interest
to work with us.
Should we have more volunteers than we can use, we will select folks so that all needed
areas are covered and so we have statewide representation. Since many new
regulations are under development and AB 32 is moving toward implementation, we
would like to pursue an aggressive schedule on this project. Once a checklist is
developed we will field-test it with existing or proposed rules to ensure it will be an
effective and instructive tool.
Please respond to me as soon as you can if you have an interest in contributing to this
effort. Your interest will be greatly appreciated! Please also, don't hesitate to contact me
with any questions or comments. Thank you very much!

GIFTS TO AN AGENCY
The Fair Political Practices Commission has substantially revised
Regulation 18944.2, which establishes the criteria under which a payment
that would otherwise be considered a gift to a public official
may be considered a gift to the official's agency instead.
Effective July 1, 2008 agencies must disclose such gifts to the agency, including
monetary payments, loans, gifts or other transfers, provisions of goods or services, or
other benefits to the agency within 30 days of their use by the official.
Payment that might otherwise be considered gifts to public officials can now be
considered gifts to the agency under the following circumstances:
1. The gift must be made to the agency directly, and controlled by the agency;
2. The gift must be for official agency business;
3. The donor cannot designate the official, only the purpose, for which the gift is
intended;
4. The agency must report the payment of the Form 801 to the filing officer within
30 days after the use of the payment;
5. The form must be posted on the filing officer's agency Web Site.
6. Payments to state or local elected officers for travel lodging and meals are
excepted.

By Unmesh Kher
Coastal Dead Zones Are Growing.
"Biggest environmental problems of the 21 st century"
says the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
Over the past two or three decades, scientists have noticed with growing alarm that vast
stretches of coastal waters are turning into dead zones - patches of seabed so
depleted of oxygen that few creatures, if any, can survive there.
Which is caused in large part by aaricultural runoff.
400 known dead zones along coastlines around the world,
covering roughly 95,000 sq. mi. of seabed.
Dead zones are created when excess nitrogen and other pollutants in ocean water
promote large blooms of algae and phytoplankton on the surface. When the algae die
and sink to the ocean floor, bacteria there break them down, while consuming pretty
much all of the available oxygen in the water. The bacteria also proliferate wildly, taking
over the ecosystem and exacerbating the oxygen depletion.
Can an over use of chemical fertilizers cause a "Dead Zone" in lake Tahoe?
Turf Buy-Back Program
From an environmental perspective, lawns tend to be over fertilized and over
watered. With porous Tahoe soils, this combination can push nutrients intended for the
lawn into the watershed where they eventually make their way into Lake Tahoe.
Once there, they provide nutrients for algal growth that can affect the legendary
clarity of the Lake.

INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR
By Doug Busey
Water is very low and plenty of weeds around the shore. Fishing has been fair.
Better fishing has been on the other side of the dam, where the weed beds are
closer to shore. This allows you to get our father.
In a near future report, I will tell you of the plans of the South Tahoe Public
Utility District, which will knock your socks off.
After you hear what they have planned and are doing, you will never refer to
them as "STUPID" (no offense),
Indian Creek Reservoir will rise again to one of the best fisheries around.
